If the Mandos were to face off against the Noghri, who do you think would come out on top? (Not sure if this has ever been covered.)_________________“When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master.”

Mandos, of course. The Noghri have knives. Mandos have rocket launchers.

'And lo do I walk through the shadow of the valley of death, I shall hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil ... for in my hands I hold a rocket launcher!'_________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it (or even read all of it). These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

What if they jammed the rocket blasters with their knives?_________________“When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master.”

Mandalorians are typically big, clumsy, oafish mercs who just brute force their way through a problem. The Nogrhi are more patient and stealthy. When launched into war, the Mandos start out with a bang and then get their shebs beat by the Jedi/Republic. When the Nogrhi go to war, they assassinate the leader of the opposing force and steal away with victory. Even the mighty Thrawn could not predict them. Advantage Noghri.

If the Noghri and Mandalorians went to war, both sides could opt for allies. Traditionally the Mandalorians are terrible at politics and have no allies, unless they're being used by the Sith. The Noghri on the other hand, are friends with Lady Vader. They could get help from the Republic/GA and/or the Jedi. Advantage Noghri.

Outcome: The Mandos come in hard and heavy kicking Noghri butt with their armor, their heavy weapons, and their machines of death and destruction. The Noghri strike back in the night, assassinating high level Mandalorian commanders, terrorizing supply lines, and crippling the Mando war machine. The Noghri's allies step in and establish firm dominance on the battlefield, kicking the Mandos off the planet and forcing them to return to Mandalore.

Victory Noghri._________________

Noghri would win. When they first encountered the Empire, they made mincemeat out of Vader's personal troopers, those who were considered the best of the best. Now that they have more advance tech and tactics, I saw that they would easily defeat any army in open combat.

But then again, lately they've been used to prove how badass some group is, so maybe their training has been slacking lately.

Sounds cool. Thank-you for the post. It would be pretty cool to see them go head-to-head in a book or comic._________________“When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master.”

Personally I want to see more of the Noghri Jedi they mentioned in FOTJ. I mean that there is just pure awesomeness. (not too mention Noghri Jedi would certainly be beneficial in a war against Mandalorians who are known to be severely lacking in Force sensitivity).

Now we could get more Mando books (which could be good or bad), but imagine Noghri Jedi books. Pure win!_________________

It does seem like they don't much attention anymore. I would to read a book based primarily on Noghri and/or Noghri Jedi. I jusr don't get why they don't get and attention anymore._________________“When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master.”
